Twitter Inc. failed to convince a California federal appellate court that its free-speech rights are being threatened by a Texas attorney general’s investigation into the lifetime ban the social media platform imposed on former President Donald Trump.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit concluded that Twitter’s request for an injunction against Attorney General Ken Paxton is not ripe for a judicial decision, because Paxton has not yet made an allegation, and because Twitter does not have to comply with Paxton’s civil investigative demand, or CID.
